Vantage Vue Weather Station with WeatherLink Console

Connect to an Online Community and Customize Your Dashboard

With the Vantage Vue and the WeatherLink Console, you can connect your station to an interactive online weather community and customize your dashboard in minutes. After installing the sensor suite, use the console to create or sign in to a free WeatherLink Cloud account, then follow the prompts in the Network or WeatherLink menu to link the console to your Wi‑Fi and authorize it to upload data. Once connected, your live observations stream to your personal online dashboard and to the global WeatherLink community map, where you can compare conditions with nearby stations and join the leaderboards.

To customize your dashboard, open the console's settings and choose the data tiles you want to feature, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall, dew point, and wind chill. Rearrange tiles by drag-and-drop, switch between day/night themes, and set custom alarms for rainfall, wind gusts, pressure drops, or heat index.
